My wife and I love you cowboy! True gentleman. Its a dying breed. ❤️
I've got to say the tips you give to us kent whether it's tips on how to cook and prepare food dishes or how to clean our cutlery and dirty dishes or even how to make and take ailment cures you are the best and I and all your subscribers take our hats 🤠 off to you and salute you sir and say a big thank you.
My Dad is an old cowboy and he uses the potato and salt method regularly; works pretty well.
Salt kills anything bad too and potatoe will grab the salt. Definitely sounds like the best method I've heard quite honestly. Some people are buying chain mail and shit haha.
My mom is an old cowgirl and she never could clean a skillet. She just gave the ranch hands bjs and they did it!!
@@dianapennepacker6854 question..do you clean with salt and potato when its hot?
@@RAZASHARP Honestly I don't know, but just from being a dishwasher I would say yeah. It is easier to clean when things are heated.
I can't answer that directly, but good question. Probably best to Google it. I learned it after I lost my pan during moving.
@@dianapennepacker6854 Thank you! i bought 3 cast iron pots 4 years ago and have never used anything else🤷🏽
You're the man. I never cleaned mine hot until I saw something awhile back from you. Definitely the way to go!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks for your videos they are very good and entertaining

I've been using mild dish soap and a sponge lately after not using it my whole life I learned that the reason people say don't use soap is because soap used to contain lye and that would destroy the seasoning immediately I would suggest trying the soap method
everything else is up to you as long as you do it right now! my first pan was a cast iron griddle!
Please note how shiny his pan is. When most of us are new to cast iron, we get a pan that is coarse. There is absolutely nothing wrong with cleaning and smoothing your cast iron. If people can restore a rust bucket pot or skillet to good cooking order, you can scrub and smooth that rough surface! Just do your iron right and season it again.
Amen to that!
I dead ass bought my first cast iron pan a beauty antique 8 inch for $2 at a yardsale like 10 years ago.
When I got it, it was orange in the middle. After an afternoon of working on it, it came out to a beautiful black. I still use it to this day and its the best kitchen tool I have ever bought.
Agreed. Inherited Mama's set to add to mine. I didn't have any Wagner pieces however Mama did. Gr8 gift, takes a bit 2 heat up but will stay warmer longer...
I use the best scraper of all- my fingernails!
They don’t scratch the iron, and they clean up in a jiffy.
Try it!
You are the cowboy cook👍😀
Thanks for the helpful tip!
Great tip to give out....this is the advice I give customers when I'm doing my consultations about cast iron pans in the grill section.
Love my old Wagner and Griswalds cast iron.
They are the best ever made
Hep is the best friend and my dear friend of tiktok
After the pan has cooled off a little, where I can touch the bottom, I put hot water in it, let it sit about 10-15 minutes and then rinse off in hot water and wipe dry.
Works great onWagnerware cast iron- as well as Lodge
Love the puzzle piece great man
Been using a cast iron for a few months because of you. Thank you.
Going to fry up some fish tonight and french fries.
used cast iron my whole life, but it is not really the best thing for fish, i gotta tell you. Just about everything else though…
Great video... hoping you'll post one about sharpening your knives
Could you make a complete video on this, please? 🙏🏻
Great video, and thanks for sharing!
There is! Check pinned comment
Use dish soap and water. The seasoning (polymerised oil into the pan) won't get removed from some messily soap. It's an old wives tales when soap and lye in it, which did strip pans as it was extremely basic.
Umm no.
Soap removes oils.
The seasoning on the pan is oil…
@@D0nt_Tread_On_Me You are 100% wrong. Modern day detergent will do nothing to your seasoning because it's polymerized. Only a lye based soap will damage your seasoning and I truly doubt you have lye based soap in your kitchen.
Source: I'm a chemist who loves cast iron.
@@D0nt_Tread_On_Me that’s bad/incorrect/outdated information. These types of “claims” come from a time when lye was more ubiquitous in dish soaps. Dawn, not so much. Use soap and keep your pan clean.
I've heard about using the salt and it works great.😊 I've never heard about using a potato I'll have to give that a try.
Thank you for this!
I love the way he says puh-tay-tuh. 🥔😂
Thanks a bunch 😊👍
Where do you get your lint free rags from? Walmart did carry them, but have t seen them lately.
Thanks For The FYI’s💯
i do yse dishsoap and even a steel scratch pad to clean, and then rub with a little coconut oil afterwards. I’m sorry, taught from a little girl that you clean with soap and water to kill the germs, I can’t undo that!!!
You are absolutely correct about the soap. The whole "dont use soap" was back when soap was much more harsh and made out of lye. Modern gel dishsoap has been proven to not affect your seasoning. I would even argue that using a scrubber does more damage to your seasoning than a light scrub with dawn and a sponge. Its never done me and my family wrong.
use soap, dry, add oil
I use soap/vinegar mix if i have rust. But I try not to use a lot of soap because it can set into the season. At that point you have to reseason “from scratch”
@@RageCreati0nIt sounds to me like you don't have a proper seasoning on your pan if it's rusting and absorbing soaps it's a sign that the oils haven't polymerized. I suggest wiping it with a high smoke point oil and baking it in an oven at 450-500f for 30mins to an hour. Let it cool completely then wipe a couple more drops everytime you use it and it should be slick so you can cook eggs without sticking.
Idk if it works the same but on a skillet but on my old grill at work we cleaned it with coke (in the first stage) n it would be gleaming clean evertime
It needs to be baked after every use or just oiled
“Pah-tay-da”
We boil water in ours when something sticks. Can normally wipe it right out
I use a stainless steel mesh cast iron cleaning pad (Lodge makes them) along with coarse salt. Works great 👍
I use something similar, they sell them in any supermarket. If something is really stuck on there I’ll usually put some water in the pan right after cooking, bring it to a boil, let it sit for 2 mins then hit it with the mesh then reseason.
water, soap and boil it.
Did a hamburger steak with gravy this week but ate first. That gravy dried and took some work to clean out. I ended up using kosher salt, thankfully had some, elbow grease, a green pad and oven heat to get all the cooked on gravy off it.
It looks alright but I’m not sure as I smell the spices still. I’ll find out tonight though.
Slat scrub works good
That’s definitely the hardest part, don’t sit down to eat, clean the pan first!
Ty for information
If you from tixas show us your flintlook
I have always clean my pans before anyone eats! Meat needs to sit a few minutes before you serve! It only takes a very few minutes to clean.
Where can I get a stove like big Bertha in Arizona?
Most of the time, if my cast iron is well seasoned to begin with, while it's hot, add HOT water and use a wooden spatula to loosen, m'be f/u with hot water and a stiff natural bristle brush. Dry/heat it and season. Works great for moi.
So how do I clean my grandmother's real cast iron pan that hasn't been used for 40 years, get rust off, clean and seal???
I just did this the other day with some old Wagner and griswold pans. Get a deep bucket or stainless steel pan, soak them in a 50-50 vinegar and water solution for about 30 minutes at a time. Scrub with steel wool vigorously. Takes a bit of elbow grease, took about an hour of soaking each pan to get all the rust off. Once done, sprinkle some baking soda on it to neutralize acids and scrub it down with water. dry completely and set it on gas top range for a bit or in an oven set to about 200°f for it to get bone dry. Wipe on some crisco to prevent flash rust. Wipe off. Begin your seasoning process. Wipe with crisco. Wipe off. Set it on top oven rack upside down. If your oven is still on you can put it back in and crank it up to 300° for about 15 minutes. Wipe it off again. I recommend coffee filters or a lint free cotton cloth cause they dont leave anything behind like some paper towels do. Final step in seasoning: crank to 475° or if your oven only goes to 450 that's fine. Let it cook for 1hr 20m. It will probably smoke a little bit so you'll probably want a fan in your kitchen window and turn on your above stove vent. Turn off oven and leave it in until it cools to room temp. This gave me a beautiful seasoned layer that I could cook bacon on immediately and after using it once it started getting that glorious black shine! Hope this helps and I made it easy to understand 😎
Gosh golly jeepers this really works, no more scrubbing with steel wool
Kent for President!!
I bake my skillets in water easy clean
Easier to clean when hot🐸🍺🔪🔥
Soap works best.....
wow, cleaning it with a potato?! my mind is blown! insta-subbed
Salt don't do shit, I fooled myself into thinking it worked for awhile, just scrape it and be done.
If it has some pitting from previous rust or not made smooth finish, salt can get into those tiny crevices 👍
You are going to reseason it anyway so why waste salt and a potato? Just scrape it clean wash it and oil it again.
Man just use soap. It wont harm your seasoning and its disgusting to not use soap. Unless you are willing to wash all your dishes with salt, maybe dont be a tool and use some soap.
Can anyone here tell me the best way to re-season
I found 1 that's rusty!
👍
Just yse a wire brush or some steel wool and you can get that black stuff off pretty quickly
Kent your content is going fast. It's hard to keep up with every episode
😳🥔
Apparently, chainmail cloth works better than salt...

Cast iron needs more attention than a newborn baby
😂
💯 💯 💯 😅😅
Na man just clean it with a soap and sponge then set it back on the stove to dry then if you remember add a drop of oil in and wipe with a paper towel
@@Exlaax soap?? my mother would kill me if i ever put soap on her pans
@@morpheusgreene2704 old soap used to contain lye that would eat the seasoning modern day dish soap is mild enough to just affect the grease old habits die hard
People are so anal about cast iron. I have a 100+ year old pan passed down within my family. I clean it with soap and water when I’m done, dry it off, apply a thin coat of oil. It’s simple.
I came home to my girl soaking mine in dawn in the sink. Chucked it right in the bin.
I wouldnt want to be your girlfriend. Dawn doesnt affect seasoning and you just wasted a perfectly good pan because of your rampant paranoia. I wouldnt want to live with a tool like you.
Nooooo you could have restored it 😢
What do I do with the other side of the potato, do I have to take care of it now? Maybe I’ll name him billy
